Here is an article confirming it back in January

November is not an official month of release but it won't be out in March as planned

Wasn't it only delayed originally so she can tweak or add some material on there it was supposed to have been near completion or completed so whats going on here then suspicious will it ultimately be shelved.

Leona Lewis Glassheart was trending worlwide on twitter last night, because us Leona fans wanted to show that whenever the album will come (and it will be this year), we are more than excited!!

No one in Leona's team has confirmed the date as far as I know, but sites like Amazon moved the date back. I still hope it will be out before November.

i think she will record more songs and possibly more ballads. otherwise, why the wait? its a good thing to be honest and its better to comeback with the best material possible. i don't think they will change the name, but they will source more material and possibly change the cover.

I feel so sorry for Leona. She should be on album 4 by now.

She needs to do an Alexandra and move from Syco. I fear her time has passed because of all this waiting.

It isnt as easy is that, she is tied down with contracts and I cant see Simon letting her leave.

Sounds like he's deliberately manouvering a situation where she has no choice. This is shocking, frankly. She's being treated just as Shayne Ward was a few years ago. Shameful.

Well actually she released Collide and Hurt last year, yet it was the song Collide, released away from the X Factor bubble, that performed better in the charts.

No she's not. Shayne never came to close to Leona's success, she will always be a priority!

Also Shayne Ward didn't have the fanbase Leona has, sell the records Leona has, have Clive Davis backing and working with him, so if people think she will be going down that route they are mistaken....

I honestly don't think Leona wants or needs people's sympathy. She genuinely seems to be in great spirits in her tweets and she seems just as excited as ever about the album. I think part of the delay is down to the label but I think somewhere along the line Leona seems to have agreed with them that they needed better material or something and now she seems quite happy.

She'll be back and I think she'll be proving a few people wrong, especially people who've written her off and say she's had her time now. Will she ever reach the level of success that Spirit had? Unlikely but not impossible, but she'll certainly have success I think. I already think Glassheart is going to be my favourite Leona album, going off what information we've been given about it so far.

Success and fanbase is not the issue. The repeated delay in releasing Leona Lewis' third album is the similar to the repeated delay in releasing Shayne Ward's third album.

I think that November 26th will be a set date, however it may be pushed forward if everything comes together more quickly and the fan demand is immense. I'm happier that Leona is putting off the album release until she's 100% with the album. I just hope they don't try to take away writing control from her with this album. Her song writing was not the issue with Echo. Not like anybody got to hear much of the songs she co-wrote anyway considering Shiteco Syco dashed the album after 1 and a half singles :/ Grrr! I think she is working with great producers so this album should at least do better than Echo

I suspect Leona was pleased enough with the album how it was last year. Wasn't it SyCo that freaked and instructed it be delayed and Leona had to write some new tunes?

No one knows, all Leona said was she felt inspired and wanted to continue recording, whether that is true or not, we dont know.

Maybe her record company saw the success Adele was having and decided that Leona should go back to her ballads afterall.

That's the problem though. Why try change someone for success? Leona needs to do what Leona is doing in order to become more successful. If you're a fan of the music, you won't get bored of it

Yes I remember that . Also recall opening a window to let the smell of BS out. You don't record an album, prepare the artwork and announce the date of release and then decide - Oh wait! I feel creative! I'll just pop back in the studio and make some more music and delay f--king everything.

Shes not a writer like Adele though is she? She should take some Ryan Tedder songs and put her album out.
